The hull is at last in a state where it no longer needs to be plumb to the world. That meant it was time to haul it into the side yard for storage while I use the newly liberated garage to build the spars over the winter. (OK, so that didn't happen-maybe the winter of 2006-2007) The move, using rollers, plywood, masonite, and dish soap took about 8 hours to do on my own.
At a guess, I'd say the whole works weighs in around 3000 pounds, considerably more than when I rolled the hull over in 2004.

Update: February 2006

I've been slightly reworking some parts of the site-mostly those pertaining to
September of last year-and realized looking at these photographs that I almost
can't remember doing any of this. The other entries in the Pangur Ban story come
with clear memories of the events, but not this one. I do have a vague memory of
being completely focused on this task-almost obsessive about it.

I've since spoken to several of the folks who worked the Katrina disaster, and almost all of them report similar extended periodsof skewed reality and unreliable memory.
